using up your scholastic magazines (giveaway)

I have a huge stack of scholastic magazines in my room....I hope I'm not alone! Best intentions, right! Well, I find all sorts of ways to use up the ones that do not exactly fit what I teach.
First, the text features project!
Love this one!
This packet can be used in two ways:
1. Have students create text features in the minibook for a topic of their choice OR
2. Have students find examples from student magazines and old mags to glue in the minibook (aka use up those magazines!!)

File includes half page sized booklet to save on copies.
Contents include a page for:
Captions
bold print
bullets
comparisons
diagrams
glossary
graph
headings
illustrations
maps
tables
titles
subheadings
icons
electronic menus
hyperlinks
photographs
table of contents
index
pronuncian guides
magnification or close up
side bars/text boxes

Also includes example "expert Poster" project with any nonfiction book
nonfiction newspaper template for alternate project
text feature and purpose response sheet
rubric for scoring posters



these are like my most favoritist projects EVER!
their talents really shine!
and I also JUST POSTED what we did this week to review verbs!

easy peasy! I also included a template with all the pieces all put together if you're just not that into cutting these days! We searched for verbs in our scholastic magazine, highlighted them after we read, then cut them out for the fireflies. You could also just write them in. Then they list others on the recording sheet.
Like I said-
easy!
these are both in my shop, but you could win them too!
just tell me...
What do you do with your extra magazines?
